A New Year

Can you believe it's 2009? 2008 came and went and it was quite an eventful year for us. Here's a review of some of what went on for us in 2008. Some things are little details..others were big events...

--almost every month seemed to include some sort of surgery or sickness involved for one or both of us--

January 1, 2009: We now have 11:00 church instead of 9:00 church :)...k I just had to mention that randomly.

By the way I just happen to remember dates well. I really didn't write those random little things down on a calendar.

Larry and I have set some new years resolutions that we hope to accomplish...so far it's not looking so good but we'll get on track. I go back to school on Monday. Oi. I'm working part time too. And Larry continues his work as Mr. Boss at the bank. We look forward to good things this year. We've been very blessed and are so grateful to have all that we do, especially each other and the Gospel. We'll see what the year brings...hopefully good things :D I hope you all have a great year as well!!

And just think, it only gets busier and better as the years go! Congrats on all your milestones (big and small) and may you have many, many more!
